De Villiers is best known for her paintings, works on paper and comic book illustrations. Her work is playful and irreverent with a gloriously dark subtext. Her almost childlike style belies a depth to the two-dimensional subject matter, which touches on keen insights into human nature. Anamorphic characters permeate her work like archetypal figures from a mix-match of different and invented mythologies. Narrative also forms an important part of De Villiers’ work, as well as a wry, incidental sense of humour. In recent years De Villiers’ creative work has expanded from the printed book to include large scale paintings, series of original works on paper, limited editions prints and sculptures.
